co2 emissions from combustion flue gases have turned into a major factor in global warming. post-combustion carbon capture (pcc) from industrial utility flue gases by reactive absorption can substantially reduce the emissions of the greenhouse gas co2. to test a new solvent (ait600) for this purpose, a small pilot plant was used. this paper presents the results of studies on chemical methods of...

Mass transfer studies are carried out in a bubble column with an internal diameter of 14 cm and various static liquid heights. The mass transfer coefficient is evaluated by using an oxygen sorption method. A model considering the gas holdup flushing and the sensor response is used. The interfacial mass transfer area is determined according to the measured bubble size distribution. The liquid-si...

Introduction Much has been written and said about the scale-up of fermentation systemsS). In general, it has been agreed that the best scale・,-up method is to maintain a constant voiumetric oxygen mass transfer coeMcient. The problem with this procedure has been the differing methods by which the transfer coeMelent has been obtained. Various investigators have used the su}fite oxidation2), pola...

in this work, the characteristics of flow and heat transfer of a fluid containing nano particles of aluminum oxide with the water volume fraction (0.1-0.2-0.3)(v/v) percent of the reports. the overall heat transfer coefficient, heat transfer and the average heat transfer fluid containing nano water - aluminum oxide in a horizontal double pipe counter flow heat exchanger under turbulent flow con...

The objective of this paper is to present an experimentally validated mechanistic model to predict the oxygen transfer rate coefficient (Kla) in aeration tanks for different water temperatures. Using experimental data created by Hunter and Vogelaar, the formula precisely reproduces experimental results for the standardized Kla at 20 °C, comparatively better than the current model used by ASCE 2...

SUMMARY Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 was recently reported to exhibit an unusual property of dramatically reducing the efficiency of oxygen transfer from the gas phase into the liquid phase and thus causing oxygen limitation in the culture. In this work, we show that iron concentration in the culture plays a crucial role in evoking this phenomenon. The physiological responses of two P. aeruginos...

The influence of various electrolytes such as sulfate, nitrate, and chloride on CO-water mass transfer was investigated in this study. The results indicate that the enhancement in the CO-water volumetric masstransfer coefficient ranged from 1.5 to 4.7 times that of a baseline system without electrolytes, depending on electrolyte type and concentration. For those electrolytes with the same anion...
